Description
Need a filament that won’t let you down? Want a superb finish on your models? Don’t want to pay a fortune? Elefilament could be just what you are looking for - it is a premium brand filament at a reasonable price and gives a consistent, slightly shiny finish. Elefilament PLA comes in 1.75mm and 2.85mm, supplied in a range of popular colours.
Need a special colour? Just get in touch and we can arrange for a colour to be made just for you (minimum order quantity and set up charge may apply).
**Try our Pot Luck Colours If you colour is not important to you then you could save money with our "pot luck" PLA 2.85 Elefilament. These are spools produced to the same high standard and specification as any other reel BUT they are end of runs or when something went awry with the colour. Some reels are an odd colour, some are inconsistent (for example, one colour running into another colour) and some are the results of our experimentation with colour. At a greatly reduced price, why not give them a try?
Not sure about the colour? Visit our website and order a free strand sample (these samples are for colour only and vannot be used to print with).

What is PLA
PLA (Polylactic Acid) is a good material to start 3D printing with
because it is easily handled by 3D printers. It cools quickly, thus
decreasing the likelihood of the object becoming warped. It operates at
temperatures between 190 and 220 °C. Colours may vary slightly from the
colours shown in the pictures.
Our PLA is made by NatureWorks, an American company known for its
innovation and quality. We never use recycled materials, since they can
be harder to print with.
Packing and Storage
Each reel of PLA 2.85mm Elefilament is enclosed in a bag with silica gel to absorb moisture and normally sent to you in a thick plastic bag. Orders for larger quantities are sent in a box. As moisture can affect the quality of the filament, we recommend you store your reel in the bag with the gel when not in use.
